Fuck Lament. I played that bitch for two hours and never picked it back up since. Its actually sitting in its case behind me, collecting dust forever. Combat system and music was decent, but thats about it. I heard Curse is better, but thats still wack about the level design being so shitty. I haven’t played CV64 in forever, but I remember that game have decent level design(Garden maze FTW). If they could combine the combat/music of Lament with the level design of 64, all with some beautiful graphics and great artistic touch the best CVs have…I pay 60 bucks for that on the first day(especially if its the 1999 game).
Yea, the PS2 one’s had their faults (big ones), but they were still somewhat enjoyable. I wouldn’t play through Lament again, though (ok, maybe as Joachim).
Curse has Trevor, and Hector ain’t bad either, so I can play that again without getting massive headaches.
[EDIT] I didn’t like 64 as much as I liked Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. Both were decent though, and the level design was a bit better than LOI’s.
I have both ps2 cv’s. In my opinon, lament is better. It would’ve been a hell of a lot tighter if leon could’ve used other weapons and armor a la sotn. Curse is just too damn repetitive. Fight wack enemies>loading screen when you go through a door(every damn door!)>Fight wack enemies. And the so called innocent devils? A damn joke. They’re like a poor take on Chaos Legion’s Legionnaires. Transfer the weapon system from curse to lament and there’s your decent ps2 castlevania. Storywise, the beginning of the belmont clan’s war is a lot more appealing than Drac’s two lackeys going at it. Curse is in the closet, collecting dust.
But Curse has Trevor Belmont.
and?
As legendary as he is, Trevor couldn’t save Curse of Darkness. If anything, Trevor probably caught the curse, and handed it down to simon, hence simon’s quest.
Trevor Belmont.
[EDIT] I don’t know about that.
Corpsey (Skull Knight from Berserk) is, by far, the best innocent devil. His special, Bone Storm (
), owns everything, and it’s how I was able to get through that second tower at only level 50 or so.
I had to think for a second. That’s the name of that game from the Simpson’s, right?
I don’t understand why people get so hyped about the extra areas in the Saturn version of SotN. They are ass. Each area is just one big ass room with like 3 new enemies (though the tree was pretty dope) and then it’s finished. There are some vids of them on youtube.
And I’m surprised that only like 1 person said their favorite Castlevania is 3. That game is too dope. It probably my second favorite right behind the original Rondo of Blood.
I wish SotN on the 360 had some Maria Renard love.
I hear alot of people say 3 was their favorite of the series. Personally, while one of the best, it’s not THE best. Many CV titles have outclassed it, since then IMO.
I wonder why Grant/Sypha never appeared in Curse.
Alucard I could understand (I imagine his self-induced slumber began shortly after the end of CV3), but it would’ve been nice to see those two (if only in Trevor’s game anyway).
Despite their flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed both ps2 CVs.
I STILL haven’t played Chi no Rondo. WTF :mad:
I never finished Curse. Got bored really fast with it.
Oh, right. They did add Maria (with a “new” playstyle) to the PSP port of SotN. Her “new” style plays more like how she does in Rondo, as opposed to whatever the hell it was she could do in the Saturn version.
Maria in the Saturn version of SOTN could outright rape any and everything she came across, and easily at that.
Yea. Maria Saturn was gdlk, and I’m sure that was one of the big reasons that version wasn’t carried over.
She sucks fucking Galamoth COCK in the PSP port, I was looking foward to raping everything outright, but now it takes 10 minutes to kill normal fucking enemies.
Lame.
I still need to GET Dracula X Chronicles myself. Sucks being fucking broke, I can tell you that.
In other weak bitches news, why the fuck is Charlotte so weak in PoR? Goodness, I must have given way more attention to her stats than Johnathan, and she still can barely NOT DIE.
WTF CHARLOTTE, WTF!
Her spells are useful, if you get the good ones.
And you misspelled Charotte.
